  • Citation: Knut Wimberger, Transforming the IP System, in: Jusletter IT 26 September 2018
The author was asked by the European Commission to analyze as external consultant the effectiveness of the SME IP Helpdesks, a policy measure which tries to boost the EU knowledge economy. He concludes that China’s economic might has undermined the concept of intangible asset protection and has accelerated the natural evolution of the IP system. Accepting the status quo will contribute to the supranational organization’s dissolution as it is being challenged by rising nationalism and economic competition. The author suggests a pre-emptive system transformation from competition and profit towards collaboration and purpose.
